ls/vtecstitch build, take 2

Thank you. I had it for 9 years before finally letting it go.

[QUOTE=imcnblu;2206323]Oh yes. I’ve seen it in person, when he still had it. Also, saw it at last year’s ECHM, but he no longer owned it at that point.

In person, the thing was just beautiful. Last time I saw it, last year’s ECHM, it still looked good. But, DAMN, it looked better when Rob was taking care of it. Looked stunning with the mesh wheels, too. Great car.
First time I saw it in person, EVER:

I remember that meet. lol. The car turned to shit in the past year and a half that its been out of my hands. Hurts a little inside but i’ll get over it.

Back when you had your black DA. As funny as this sounds that was the most organized DA meet ive ever been to. I think back then all it had was the 17" Tenzo R’s and lowered on Tokico Illuminas. :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=unified112;2206338]Gah… Pretty!

That car actually makes me glad that I kept my car Horizon Grey and didn’t change it up. A great example and execution of a G2, fasho![/QUOTE]

Thank you. This next car will be done much better than the last one.

These were my favorites. I have them again on the first page of this thread.


Appreciate it dave. So what would it take to talk you into coming out here to the 2012 East Coast Honda Meet?

Time to be a total noob… What lip was on that? I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting one for the DA but, just not sure…

Type Arrgghhh.

Ls/vtec: Nice build so far, makes a bit envious since I don’t have a DB1 anymore :(. I didn’t see but are you planning on keeping it black? I think that’d look good for sure

thats a negative. Not a fan of the black. too plain.

p.s. how can you be envious since you just picked up a FREE gs-r? the holy grail of DA’s? lol.

Lol, I know I know. I’ve always wanted to build a DB1 though, just never got the chance to finish the one I had.

I picked up a new daily to drive when i get back in december.



got it at a local city auction. Was my friends car but the person he sold it to left it on the side of the road because of a flat tire and the city impounded it. I got wind that it was going up for auction so i bidded and won it.

it has a JDM GS-R motor with exedy stage 1 clutch and fidanza flywheel. 1 piece headlights, GS-R seats and cluster, skunk 2 intake manifold and throttle body (i dont remember the size at the moment), Skunk 2 pro-s kit (or something similar but is skunk 2), skunk 2 front and rear camber kits and brembo cross drilled rotors with hawk pads. also has a skunk 2 short shifter. all i can hink of at the moment. When i get back i will freshen it up and daily it until i get my 4 door put together.

Dave - I’m heading to your area for about 4 months starting in august. wanna grab a beer?

one of my painters let me check out his work so far on the trunk. Heres a sneak peak.

Is it blasphamous to be helping someone put an LS motor in a DB2 GSR? I’ve been texting someone helping with this swap.

sorry but i’m very bored at work and have no where else to talk to people. I need a friend. lol.

I’m digging the trunk! Am i going to aee this at the fall ia meet in maryland in september?

Yes… you do need a friend :wink:

That’s a sweet daily though.

I’m not a big fan of the graff stuff on the underside of trunks and hoods… but the work looks great! I like the background a lot.

no but my goal is to have it done by the summer IA meet in 2012. Taking my time with this one. lol.

Not at all. The luster of the B17 has worn off completely, most are tired/aging and has the lowest compression of any B series VTEC engine. Healthy LS > tired B17.

so i finally got my car in to get the front end cut off, straightened out and a new one welded on. Here is a pic of it leaving my storage unit.

got it back and looks great. I dont have pics of that yet but will soon.

I also got these in the mail the other day so now all that remains is to fix the car thats blocking mine in at my storage unit so i can get my car back out and send it off to my paint guy.

some pics of my new parts:

BNIB OEM 92 - 93 front bumper from Acura
(can the box be any bigger?)



JDP Engineering DB1 trunk spoiler

JDP Engineering OE2 Carbon Fiber front lip

The new bumper mocked up with the OE2 lip

This has been a very slow build. lol

Is this going to be at import alliance this year? It’s only 60 miles away from me lol

looks awesome man :up::up: what did that bumper run you if you dont mind me asking

When is that again? I’m not sure how long the painter will take and i told him to take his time so it will all rest on his shoulders.

it was $260 shipped.

The wife and i had some fun taking apart the glass in the power folding mirrors last night.


that look on her face shows the level of excitement awaiting us!!


The glass is so much thicker in the us version vs. the japanese version.

this means the bezels are smaller in the JDM housings. the nipples will need to be cut/sanded down to make room for the usdm mirrors

Will be cutting these down tonight at my storage unit. Ill let you know how it turns out.
